Red Hat USER:

Last year about this time I posted about a problem I was having while
using TIN within an Xterm Window and just recently had another user
reading from a different USENET Group experience the same problem with the
xterm contained in "XFree86-3.3.1-1.i386.rpm" (Red Hat 4.2)!  Same "fix" 
of moving back to the xterm contained within "XFree86-3.1.2-11.i386.rpm" 
(Red Hat 4.0) corrects/avoids the problem???  Last year the USENET Group
had been "ca.forsale", this year it is "alt.fan.howard-stern" (current at
the time of this year's posting).  I had NO replies from last years
inquiry, therefore I have NO new ideas (outside of downgrading to the
xterm contained within XFree86 3.1.2-11 RPM)!
